Abstract: We synthesised Sb₂S₃ quantum dot sensitiser-coated mesoporous TiO₂ (mp-TiO₂) electrodes using chemical bath deposition (CBD) for use in all-solid-state heterojunction (P3HT/PEDOT:PSS/Sb₂S₃/mp-TiO₂) solar cells. The cell processing parameters such as Sb₂S₃ sensitiser reaction time and annealing temperature were optimised for the synthesis of efficient sensitised photo-anodes. It was found that the microstructure, such as interior pores and surface over-layers of devices, plays an important role in the photovoltaic properties of all-solid-state heterojunction solar cells. Devices synthesised by the optimised process exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.42%.
